Summary:碩士 === 東吳大學 === 企業管理學系 === 102 === As popularity of mobile internet and smartphones, people can be connected with others through a variety of input methods on instant message by smartphones. There were some related studies of input interface in the past. However, as technology improves every day, the technology of input method has been well developed and the correction rate of recognition also improved dramatically. Therefore, this study re-explored the usability of input interface. An experiment was constructed to study the input performances among different input methods, and using questionary to survey two indexes of user-friendly input interface: satisfaction and friendliness. In this study, we found some important results 1.Age has significant impact on the frequency of using line.The frequency of using Social Network, and the frequency of accessing electronic products have significant impact on possessing smart phones. 2. If the words are pure Chinese characters, Siri with another input method has the best performance to finish inputting words. 3. If the words mix up Chinese and alphanumeric characters, Google voice recognition with another input method has the best performance to finish inputting words. 4. Phonetic input method is the most familiar method for Taiwanese user to input Chinese. Since users are used to input Chinese characters comfortably if they can spell phonetic symbols. Finally, this study proposes some managerial implications and suggestions for future researchers.
